“Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.”

 

The titles above are professional wrestling terms. In pro wrestling there are heels. The heel is the bad guy. If the bad guy receives a “push” or is being put into the spotlight per writers script, they will “go over” or be accepted by the wrestling community. The heel will be booed and jeered. That’s a good thing for the heel’s character and career.

The Babyface is the good guy and the above is true of the babyface or face character. The babyface is either pushed or not pushed. The babyface is over with the community or they are not.

In this world of scripted wrestling, heels can “turn babyface” and the babyface can “turn heel.” It’s all according to the script.

This is and is not true in the real world. Persons do not change. A person may curb or hide certain traits but they are hidden and not gone. As they say, in the world, “Once a cheat always a cheat.” The cheater may become faithful outwardly post being caught but inwardly he is still a cheat. In his or her soul they are who they are. They are not who they pretend to be. They are not who you want them to be either. A person does not change and no obe can change anyone else. So if you aretrying to change someone, stop.

The above speaks to the unregenerate and not to the Christ-like. The humans above have been written into God’s script and they will play their part and they will glorify God, even if that is in their damnation. With man it is impossible to change. It is possible with man to hide or curb certain traits. Think Jacob pretending to be Esau.  Humans cannot, do not, and will not change, at least not for the better. The human can always devolve, but never change….actually change for the better.

Looking at criminals, as an example. And as Batman says, “We’re all criminals, Clark.” We will see they have a pathology. A serial killer is a serial killer. The serial killer cannot stop. This type of killer is compelled to what he calls his work. The pathology of this killer is this: The killer kills and then he is calmed but then the inclination rears it’s head and he must kill. These must kill like the elect must be saved. The serial killer is one from birth or one from youth (my opinion). This killer begins by harming, killing, and disarticulating or dismembering the small helpless and now dead animal. This type of killer will urinate the bed throughout his youth and he will be drawn to fire. This killer will burn things like dolls and small animals. This person…he is not a monster, no not at all, he is fully human…depravity on parade if you will. This person will not stop or change. This killer has a signature or in other words he is compelled to take something or leave something, a lock of hair may be taken, a piece of under garments, who knows, this pathology, this compelling is particular to each killer. As this killer cannot, does not, and will not change, neither does any other human.

BUT…BUT…BUT… What is impossible with man is possible with God!!! God can, has, does, and will change a person as He has so ordained in and from Eternity past. God creates new creatures everyday. By the way each new creature is a miracle. What is a miracle? A miracle is when God, the Supernatural and Sovereign God acts in the natural world and does something only He can do. This is true of salvation. Every person that is made into a new creature is a miracle. Now paaallleeezzzzeee praise God, the High and the Holy, Who Alone, changes a person from sinner to saint!!!

Never ever take for granted that change God has made in you. Never let it become a usual thing….for it is still a miraculous event. When Heaven and Heaven’s occupants cheer a man’s salvation, it is something BIG. IT IS BIG BECAUSE MY GOD IS SOOOOOO BIG SOOOO STRONG AND SOOOOO MIGHTY, THERE’S NOTHING HE CANNOT DO!!! !!! !!!

Godspeed, Walking Miracle.
